Sunday April 19, 1981
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
A three-run homer by Gary Allenson in the fourth inning helped the Red Sox to a 9-4 victory over the White Sox. Allenson's blow gave the Bosox a 5-1 lead and offset a three-run rally by the Chisox in the bottom of the frame on a two-run double by Jim Morrison and a bases-loaded walk to Carlton Fisk. Jim Rice and Joe Rudi drove in first-inning runs for Boston and Fisk clouted a solo homer in Chicago's first. [The Sporting News]
